Why are the American right red and left blue, the opposite to most other places?

Do you think they care about any regular Americans?

Hadn’t thought it that far through but yeah. That’s true. Then they’ll call the wages paid “competitive”.

Rich people will tell you they get the value of money then spend the equivalent of a poor persons wages on a bottle of wine, concert ticket, or a seat at a football game.

I’m not defending that defence.

True that. Also, right to work. I’m not USAmerican though so I’m not as aware.

More work than the 1% will ever do.

That will be coming to the western world before you know it.

When MH370 disappeared and there was speculation that USAmerica had made it disappear, my mate at the time said “there’s no way America would do that”.

The working class should hold the bulk of the wealth.

Further to the Brexit thing, another example is Corbyn running for PM in 2017(?), offering a four day week, state ownership of energy, rail etc…loads of left wing and socialist stuff, but not extremely so. But the press said he’d ruin the country, so people started parroting that, then when you pushed them to explain why, the responses varied from “well he will won’t he” to “common sense isn’t it?”. Absolutely infuriated me.
